Tag Archives: zinnia skirt

I was asked by a few people how I hemmed my Paris dress so I decided to film a quick tutorial while I was hemming my latest Zinnia skirt by Colette Patterns.

I used the toucan fabric that I bought in Paris for the outer skirt and lined it with some of the grey lining that I bought on my recent trip to Birmingham. I added pockets made from the contrasting pineapple fabric, and changed up the skirt waistband so that I created two pieces, rather than one folded over piece, and put the pineapples on the inner waistband too.

I found some bias binding that matched the orange on the outer fabric perfectly, so I created a bias bound hem on the lining, that is just visible when twirling!
